Much of the credit for these new types must be given to Army engineers and test pilots at Wright Field, Day- ton, Ohio, who have been engaged in | pionecring work which has made them possible. The Wright Field pilots and engineers were working with the low- types before they came into popu- use and have kept a close check on | 1 developments in the commercial ie'd which bear promise of military | value. 2l Pilots' Union Organized n of an Air Pilots’ Association, | ated with the American Fedcrannn; i has been announced. The | it is announced, is “to main- highest standards possible in iency and morale of the line pilots and to put air travel beyond the influence of politics or any demoraliz- ing_conditions.’ ‘Though the association has afliated with the A. F. of L. it was stated, absolute control of the group will be °pt in the hands of pilots who know he problems to be met and are pledged to combat outside influence or control The organization, according to David Behncke, pioneer Chicago pilot and t, now has approximately 450 | rebers and has set up headquarters Chicago. The association’s plans for the imme- diate future include formation of per- sonnel examining boards throughout the country to assure competency of | all members, together with a technical | board to investigate all equipment members must fly. Wage reductions working conditions affecting the k} of the pilots also will be con- 1 in ing competition for the Schneider Trophy, concluded when Great Britain ob d _permanent possession last | month, productive of really worth- | while results? If we are to accept the results as outlined by Sir Robert McLean, eminent British authority, in a rec radio discussion broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation, they were fruitful in many respects. Speed has been increased in Schnei- der competitions from 46 miles per | hour in 1913 to nearly 380 miles per ' Wednesday ~ Thursday | Robert said. hour, he pointed out. At the same time, however, take-off and landing speeds have grown so great that spe- cial design and skill have become necessary to prevent disaster. The take-off speed of the Schneider racers is above 100 miles an hour and they are landed at far above this speed Such speeds a few years ago would have hcen virtually suicidal. Another thing Schneider racing has done is to improve the design of sea- | plane floats, bringing about a suitable | compromise between the type that is best for a float but bad as a source | of air resistance and the type that| pulls cleanly through the air but is| poor on the water. Still another beneficial result has been in the design of radiator sur- faces to carry off excess engine heat. | As power has increased and airplane size decreased it has become necessary | to convert the ship into something | akin to a flying radiator, in which all | the wing surfaces and the top sides | of the floats are formed of a double | metal skin through which the hot | water is forced for cooling before go- ing back into the motor. In addition, | motor ofl must also be cooled in radi- ators along the fuselage skin. The equivalent of more than 1,000 horse- power in heat units must be trans- ferred continuously to the air, and the | problem has just about exhausted the capacity of a plane of the size used in this year's competitions. { Much Experimental Work. The problem has been to provide | more cooling surfaces or to improve the efficiency of those already used.| A great deal of research work was undertaken and the result was that the oil-cooling system of 1929 had its ef- | ficiency increased by 40 per cent, Sir There have been a mass of con- flicting problems to solve, all of which contributed much to the sum of aero- | nautical knowledge. The mere carry- ing of fucl and oil and feeding them | to the motor was a severe problem. It | is_easily perceived that an airplane rounding a turn at 340 miies per hour will set up tremendous centrifugal forces which easily might choke the flow of oil and fuel to the motor if the system were not properly designed. Distribution of fuel and oil weight had to be planned to take care of the tremendous torque or twisting ef- fect of the highly pitched racing pro- peller while taxiing on the water. | This torque has the effect of sinking | the left float and raising the right | out of water and, with an even_distri- bution of weight, probably would turn the plane over. This effect is coun- teracted by carrying a bulk of the fuel load in the right pontoon on the water and by equalizing the weight after the plane is in the air and the | effect of torque is ironed out by wing 1t And g0, the work which made pos- sible the magnificent British Schneider racers has resulted in better knowl- edge of float designs, controls at high speeds, propeller design, radiation, de- sign of fuel and oil systems and other problems of aircraft design which may be applied to aircraft design the world over, In' addition, the competition has put such a premium on engine performance that the British Rolls-Royce racing motor, which before the 1929 races was delivering 828 horsepower, was in 1929 increased to 2,000 horsepower and in’ 1931, with further improvements and but trifling increase in weight, was _delivering 2,300 horsepower with a total motor weight of less than three. quarters of a pound per horsepower. This degree of motor efficiency is little | short of astounding when compared with any other type of man-made power plant, the speaker declared.

Under this pol- icy, where an applicant for appoint- ment or for certificate of capacity has prepared himself for examination under Army regulations Nos. 140-22 to 39, each dated June 15, 1925, to such an extent as to place him at a disadvantage if he | were required to qualify under Army regulations Nos. 140-22 to 39, published | in" 1931, corps area commanders are empowered to authorize examinations, in whole or in part, under these regula- | tions of June 15, 1925. District Reserve officers will be interested to learn that examinations, in whole or in part, under Army reguiations Nos. 140-22 to 39 of June 15, 1925, will not be authorized after June 30, 1932. A time limit has been established for Reservists in taking the examination for a certificate of capacity. Under this limitation, the completion of any sub- course, or, in case of an exemption, the completion of the training on which the exemption is based, will be accepted by Reserve examining boards in lieu of the corresponding examinations only if such completion occurred within five years of date of application for exami- nation for a certificate of capacity, or within the minimum period which the officer must serve in grade if this period is greater than five years. For instance, a Reserve officer who applies to take the PAVED moADS GraveL moaos =ARTH ROADS examination for a certificate of capacity in June, 1932, may claim exemption for those subcourses only which he com- pleted since June, 1927. On the other hand, a major may count back to his original appointment in that grade if this period is not more than six years and a lieutenant colonel may count back to his original appointment in that , grade if not more than seven years. To secure the exemptions mentioned above, Reserve Officer Training Corps |or Citizens' Military Training Camp | graduates of the District must apply or their examination within five years of the date of their graduation. These exemptions will be granted to Reserve | Officer Training Corps graduates only after they have had at least one period of active duty training as a second lieu- | tenant. In all other cases, it must be | borne in mind, active duty training is a | requirement for promotion and not for | a cert#ficate of capacity.
